I dont know if it was just a disgruntled employee at the television station or if an edit was made for the TV Version of the movie (they cut out all the nudie scenes and F words of course). I've always remembered this and I've never heard it since. While watching this movie on television at that time (a Portland Oregon station), this line was dubbed! A *very* bad voiceover came on when Murray said 10 and 1 to cover the "1" with "O" (the voice said 'oh' as in the letter o). I grew up and lived in Oregon through the 1980s. 71.217.221.174 10:11, 25 November 2006 (UTC) Reply This line has generated more controversy in the past than some know. "Ten and one" sounds a lot better than going "seven and one" or "six and two." Also, why would you expect someone like him to know the exact number of wars America's won off the top of his head? I don't doubt that "ten and one" is meant to sound good instead of to be a statistic. Wahkeenah 23:13, 26 September 2006 (UTC) Reply I would assume that ten is just a rounded number to make it sound good in the movie. Streamless 19:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC) Reply You would need to ask the scriptwriters that question. And humble, too. :) Wahkeenah 22:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC) Reply It was just a joke, it doesn't have anything thing to do with the way anyone acts it was likely an improvisation(much like a lot Ghostbusters was).- ᎠᏢ 4 62090 15:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC) Reply i understand it's a joke-don't get me wrong, i like the movie and the line-i'm more wondering what the other two wars were that are unaccounted for. Like, we're not perfect, but "nearly so". 32.97.110.142 18:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC) Reply We might argue that we won 1812, and that Korea is unresolved. I think it's more about the way Americans act rather than whether they've actually won. It's not so important what the wars were, because a lot of Americans believe what the character said.

This is a serious question: what are the ten wars american has "won" according to bill murray's character? by way of comparison, by my count, at the time that Stripes was released, america's record was six wins, two losses (korea and vietnam) and one draw (1812) - not that i'm an expert.
